pyqt4's qstring to pystr conversion is entirely broken

possibly revert:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/python-qt4/trusty/revision/1.8.1#qpy/QtCore/qpycore_qstring.cpp

(which apparently is broken with some other cases, but that should have been the code we used in 13.10, so it probably won't be worse than that).

possible fix proper fix::
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7254739/

(unapproved and unverified by upstream, but solves the particular issue at hand)
